The last of four Premier League matches to take place on Sunday sees Leicester City head south to take on relegation-threatened Bournemouth.

Kick-off at the Vitality Stadium is at 19:00 BST.

Jamie Vardy (£9.8m) was the second-most-bought Fantasy Premier League asset of Gameweek 35+ and he starts this evening, with his non-involvement in training on Friday proving to be a lot of fuss about nothing.

Vardy has three goals in his last two starts and comes up against a Bournemouth side who had the worst post-restart defensive record before this weekend.

The Cherries did register their first clean sheet of 2020 on Thursday evening, however, holding Spurs to a goalless draw.

It’s wins and not draws that Howe’s troops need, with the south coast club six points adrift of safety with just four matches to play.

The Foxes sit fourth in the Premier League table, meanwhile, with only two points separating the two sides immediately above and below then.

Brendan Rodgers has made one change to his starting XI that featured in the midweek draw with Arsenal, with defender Christian Fuchs (£4.2m) brought in to replace Ryan Bennett (£4.8m).

Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) is once again among the substitutes.

Bournemouth have made three changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Tottenham, with Arnaut Danjuma (£5.8m), Dominic Solanke (£5.1m) and Jack Stacey coming into Howe’s starting XI.

Junior Stanislas (£5.8m) drops to the bench, while Joshua King (£6.1m) and Adam Smith (£4.3m) miss out through injury.

The reverse fixture between these two sides ended 3-1 to Leicester back in Gameweek 4, with Vardy involved in all three of his club’s goals and emerging with a 16-point haul.


Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale, Stacey, Ake, Kelly, Rico, Brooks, Gosling, Lerma, Danjuma, Solanke, C Wilson.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Fuchs, Soyuncu, Evans, Justin, Albrighton, Tielemans, Ndidi, Perez, Iheanacho, Vardy.

      6 years, 1 month ago

      Dilva Foden

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Foden for certain.
      Maybe Bernardo?

    3. Eat my goal!

    5. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wow didn't even think of Foden for a second tbh. I'm thinking Sterling(C) Dilva/Mahrez

  9. _Ninja_

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Nacho and Perez just shoot all the time. Its almost as if they dont care about my fpl points 🙁

    1. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rebound off keeper to Vardy's feet incoming

  10. Eat my goal!

    Salah can forget about golden boot

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bad finisher !

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years

      Unfortunately Pope made sure of that

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years

      A 4 goal haul against Arsenal and he’s back in the race 🙂

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        No doubt

    4. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Its ok im sure David Luiz will help him out next gw.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        The longer he stays on the pitch the better it is for him!

  11. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy done for the night I recon

    1. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You know that's not true

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

  12. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy would be better if Perez was in the Nacho role. Perez did used to play up front for Newcastle so knows how to play there.

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Perez is too selfish ..

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy would be better if he had Barnes.

      1. Party time
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This!

      2. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Especially Is was c.1984 John Barnes.

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nacho played up front for City

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        And he was still average!

  13. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy captain here. Come on lad!

  14. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy owner but not captain looks okay, helping the rank, it’s Bruno I fear

  15. Dacra
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy to Jesus?

    Will feel mean after Vardy being my captain this week, but it makes sense to me..

  16. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you start next gw

    Jimi away to Burnley
    Mahrez home to Bournemouth but almost certainly to be rotated

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez 30 mins against BOU tired legs

    2. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      15 minutes against this Bou team is enough for a haul

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez

    4. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      both..but if to choose Mahrez

  17. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez, Button
    TAA, Doherty, Saiss, Lascelles, Kiko
    Sterling, KdB, Fernandes, Martial, Guendozi
    Kane, Rashford, Nketiah

    1 ft, 0.9 itb.

    Makes sense to use FH next gw? Have no Chelsea, and Kdb and Sterling may get a rest. Martinez against LIV too.

  18. Henning
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hmm. My plan was to get rid of Son and Vardy for Antonio/D.Silva and Jesus to block the one that are chasing me in my ml. But after today i dont know.

    Is those moves stupid?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’d still not change the plan

      1. Henning
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ok. D.Dilva or Antonio?

  19. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Unfortunately Vardy now faces 3 of best defences

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Fixture proof

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      When has that ever stopped him scoring?

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Limits the output

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Handover to Ings

      1. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

      2. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Absolutely

    4. Dacra
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs and United defences are not too adverse to the odd stupid error!

  20. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Good block but Vardy took one too many touches

  23. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

  24. Pep Roulette
